Australia’s Vodacom Super 14 players have voted De Wet Barry the dirtiest South African player, Pretoria the most boring place to visit and the Cheeatahs the worst team in the competition.

All players in the four Aussie franchises were required to complete a survery, the results of which have been made public by the Players Association.

Pretoria was voted the most boring place to visit, while Loftus is the least liked ground. Bulls lock Bakkies Botha was also voted the second-most dirtiest player polling 12.5% compared to Barry’s 14%.

Barry defended himself upon hearing the results. “I don’t think I’m a dirty player,” he told the Cape Times. “I am aggresive but have worked hard so that I don’t give away penalties. I will stand my ground for my team, but there’s no place in the game for punching.”

SA referee Tappe Henning (17%) was voted the second-worst in the Super 12, behind George Ayoub (21%), while the Cheetahs (26%) are tipped to finish last in the Super 14.
